GT vs DC Last Meeting

On 4th April 2023, Match 7 of the TATA IPL at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Gujarat Titans secured their second win in a row by defeating Delhi Capitals by six wickets. The team's bowling was outstanding, with Rashid Khan taking 3/31 and Alzarri Joseph taking 2/29 to limit DC to 162/8. B Sai Sudharsan played a vital role in the chase, scoring 62 off 48 balls and forming important partnerships with Vijay Shankar (29 off 23) and David Miller (31 off 16) to help GT win with 11 balls to spare.

‍

GT started their innings strongly, with Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill both hitting boundaries early on. However, Anrich Nortje quickly dismissed Saha and Gill to put DC on the front foot. GT lost two more wickets but were able to stabilise the innings thanks to Sudharsan and Shankar's partnership. After Shankar was dismissed, Miller came to the crease and smashed 20 runs off a single over to shift the momentum in GT's favour. Sudharsan eventually reached his half-century and he and Miller finished the match with a comfortable victory.

‍

The Gujarat Titans captain, Hardik Pandya, won the coin toss and chose to field. They made two changes to their team, replacing Vijay Shankar and David Miller with B Sai Sudharsan and David Miller. They had five substitutes: R Sai Kishore, Jayant Yadav, Vijay Shankar, Abhinav Manohar, and KS Bharat.

‍

Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals made three changes, bringing in Anrich Nortje, Aman Khan, and debutant Abhishek Porel for Rovman Powell, Khaleel Ahmed, and Chetan Sakariya. They had five substitutes as well: Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Chetan Sakariya, Khaleel Ahmed, and Manish Pandey.

‍

In the first over, GT pacer Mohd. Shami beat David Warner twice, with one delivery flicking the stumps. Warner was lucky as an outswinger missed his outside edge but didn't knock over the bails. Warner then hit a four before Shami sent back Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh in successive overs. Warner continued to score, hitting five fours and taking DC to 52/2 at the end of the Powerplay.

‍

Alzarri Joseph bowled a fiery over that pegged back DC, dismissing Warner and Rilee Rossouw. Abhishek Porel got a lifeline as Josh Little dropped a tough catch. He then hit a six off Yash Dayal to bring up DC's 100 in the 12th over. Rashid Khan cleaned up Porel, and Axar Patel hit a couple of fours and two sixes. However, DC lost wickets regularly and finished their innings at 162/8.
